Screenburn (Original and Alt)

So there's some buzz about two major film releases this weekend --The First Omen and Monkey Man-- having incredibly similar concepts for their primary film posters...and I figured to take a crack at designing a poster with the same concept.

The second poster is moreso a bonus design that I came up with during development. (I figured I strayed too far from the concept, but liked what I had done with it to not discard completely.)

Ronda Presents: CN Schedule

Part of an artist challenge on Twitter (that I'm actually on time for!) by Moppy-stuff, about drawing your OC exclusively with lineless art and CMYK colors, aka the Cartoon Network color palette. (At least, the one used for the "Check It"/mid-2010s era of the channel.)

Gigantes superan a Vikingos 31-24 para su primera victoria en playoffs en 11 años

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Daniel Jones pasó para 301 yardas y dos touchdowns y corrió para 78 yardas en el primer juego de postemporada de su carrera para los New York Giants, una victoria por 31-24 sobre Minnesota en la ronda de comodines que le dio a los Vikings su primera derrota en 12 juegos de una anotación esta temporada. Saquon Barkley corrió para dos anotaciones, incluido el desempate a mediados del último cuarto. La defensa de los Giants terminó con la primera victoria de la franquicia en los playoffs desde el Super Bowl hace 11 años al arrollar al ala cerrada TJ Hockenson luego de una atrapada de 3 yardas en un pase de Kirk Cousins ​​en el medio campo en cuarta y 8. Los Vikings entregaron el balón en oportunidades con 1:44 para el final y no quedaban tiempos muertos. Jones se convirtió en el primer mariscal de campo en la historia de la NFL con más de 300 yardas aéreas, más de dos touchdowns aéreos y más de 70 yardas terrestres en un juego de postemporada cuando los Giants del entrenador en jefe de primer año Brian Daboll avanzaron para jugar contra el sembrado No. 1 y el rival de la NFC Este. Filadelfia en la ronda divisional el próximo fin de semana. “Hicimos lo que queríamos hacer, salimos con una victoria”, dijo Barkley. “Celebre el camino de regreso, mire la película, aprenda de ella y prepárese para Filadelfia”.

Holiday Shopping For The UFC’s Dozen Weight Classes

Joey

December 20th, 2018

The HAPPIEST of holidays to you and yours and I hope whatever you’re celebrating turns out to be the best one yet. This time of year isn’t every for everybody so if you’re a dude or lady out there struggling, remember that there’s always help to be found out there. If the holidays got ya down then don’t feel weak going out there getting yourself the help you need to make it through. We are, as they say, in this together and there are probably more folks out there just like you than ya realize. On the other hand, if you’re like me and this time of year is your favorite time of the year then here’s hoping these last five anticipatory days aren’t too gruesome for ya. Hopefully you did your shopping early enough to where it’s all about the waiting game and you aren’t that guy who waits to the last minute, runs into a CVS and grabs your mom or dad the first gift card that catches your eye on the rack.

MMA in 2018 was...strange and like most of combat sports, filled with plenty of unfulfilled wishes and genuinely cool moments overall. For all we gripe, I’d argue that ONE, Bellator, UFC, PFL and *insert regional organizaton here* delivered enough that we as fans should’ve been satisfied. For as much as we may gripe about the UFC, there’s zero doubt that they gave us plenty of good shit down the stretch of another long grueling schedule. With all of that laid bare, I wanted to do something different and instead of talking about what I want from MMA under my proverbial holiday tree, I’d spin it around and look at what each weight class in the UFC would be asking for. What does each weight class NEED for 2019?

Women's Strawweight

Big Gift: Finishes

The UFC's strawweight class has had it rough in 2018 which is weird because the talent level has never been higher. The hardcore journey into Asia has netted some new talent for the coffers from China and South Korea primarily plus Brazil churned out a collection of intriguing yet raw 115 lb fighters. The division also has seen a rise of domestic talents like Maycee Barber, Mackenzie Dern (She was BORN here so hush) and Tatiana Suarez all having fantastic years with proven names like Karolina K, Michelle Waterson, Jessica Andrade, Courtney Casey, Angela Hill and Tecia Torres stepping up. We even got a return from Cynthia Calvillo to further deepen what is a very talented and deep class. Even without Rose Namajunas, lost into early to mid 2019 due to neck problems, the division has seen plenty of damn good fights and intriguing names step up. The problem is that nobody in this division seemingly can finish fights. When news of the UFC's impending end of the flyweight division started circulating, statistics about finishes, punches thrown and knockdowns were floating around. Flyweights averaged the second lowest amount of finishes due to strikes, the second lowest percentage of finishes related to the number of strikes thrown per fight and finishes overall. The divisions behind flyweight in all those categories? Women's strawweight! There's a subculture of fans on twitter who make a killing taking the over on strawweight fights. At one point during the year, we had gone 12 straight strawweight fights without a finish. Deep into August, strawweight's finish per fight percentage was almost absurdly low. To the division's credit, the year has ended strong as we have had a 50% finish rate in all strawweight fights since UFC 228 in September. That doesn't make up for the total lack of finishes due to strikes but as a sub can be as fun as a TKO if we're being fair. The division has a wealth of talent, has seen some solid matchmaking and a decline in the importance of the grinder types who tend to slug their way through fifteen minute affairs. We're getting more athletes, more active fighters, less fighters who have a tendency to struggle in exchanges and just a better quality of MMA overall from the strawweights. Even accounting for talent taken for the 125 lb class, the health of this division seems strong. Just get folks finishing fights, keep giving us quality fights and get Rose back.

Stocking Stuffer: No weight cutting snafus

Flyweight

Big Gift: The Christmas Miracle

Simply put, the flyweight division needs a miracle. They got an extension on their life support with UFC on ESPN+ requiring a main event and TJ vs Cejudo getting bumped over. Those are temporary cures to a long term problem at flyweight; a problem that isn't going to be fixed with just one fight especially when MMA memories are fleeting. This division needs a new attitude, a new outlook and a new semblance of fan appreciation. You can be mad about Dana for a lot of things but he is 100% right when he says that he hopes the MMA media and their fans are as supportive of flyweight if it sticks around as they were when the Turk came around to claim the weight class. This division needs a Christmas miracle and the only person capable of delivering this is Henry Cejudo on January 19th. If Cejudo can't beat Dillsahw then this division probably does die a long painful drawn out death. Dillashaw would be a two time champion and the UFC would probably quietly nix the weight class rather than have yet another guy hogging up two belts. Cejudo remains the one man who can lengthen this division out. He has to beat Dillashaw and even that might just delay the inevitable. It has to be the sort of win that says that 125 lbs is only getting better with more talent inside of it than ever before. He has to basically blame Mighty Mouse for not taking the challenges the fans asked for and prove that flyweights aren't just smaller fighters but the best small fighters the UFC has.

Stocking Stuffer: A talker

Women's Flyweight

Big Gift: An identity

I suppose a hearty "Finally!" is owed to Valentina Shevchenko. After Nicco Montano struggled to heal up from a variety of injuries and ultimately missed weight, Valentina won her first ever UFC title with a decision win over Joanna Jedrzejczyk and got a jolt back into the UFC's floundering OTHER flyweight division. While she's not the champion that people want, she's the champion we got and Valentina is the sort of fighter who I imagine will have zero problems fighting anywhere 2-3 times a year in a division that could use a consistent champion. This division if anything needs stability and its own identity; something that can help clear the air of the stink that flyweight is just the scraps of 115 lbs and 135 lbs fighting out over a title nobody wanted but wound up getting in the name of inclusivity. It needs some sort of structure to be carved out the way that 115 lbs went through the growing pains of crafting its own hierarchy. It went from the TUF ladies to Joanna as this overpowering overconfident champion ruling over this division of young up and comers with something for everyone. There's no Ronda here to make everything relevant so the matchmaking and the women involved will need to do some heavy lifting. If flyweight turns into a "Who can Valentina 49-46 next?" then this division will be hopeless to ever go anywhere. It needs something that makes it stand out and fighters on the come up who can really present themselves differently.

Stocking Stuffer: Continued Depth

Bantamweight

Big Gift: Actual title fights

Stocking Stuffer: More Main Events

Over the past two years, we have had TWO bantamweight title fights. We had Cody vs TJ 1 in November of 2017 and Cody vs TJ 2 in August of 2018. This division has become such a tremendous hotbed for talent, earnest rivalries and developing unique fighters that it's a shame that the title picture has become so stagnant. Even if you were the kind of guy who got tired of Cruz vs  Team Alpha Male, you gotta admit that was at least an angle that could reliably turn out consistent title fights. Cody vs TJ was obviously a financial hit but the counter argument is that the desire to stop and start and wait for the first fight then the rematch created what we have now. The division is clearly not helped by that plus we've also got a logjam now with TJ going down to 125 lbs to fight Cejudo in a super fight that's kinda not super at all given that IF ANYTHING the argument can be made that Cejudo is the guy more qualified within his own division as it pertains to having a reason FOR a super fight. TJ has an immediate #1 contender waiting on him in Moraes and while I believe he proved who the man was vs Raphael Assuncao in their last encounter, the fact remains they're tied up and a trilogy is a just fight. Not good or entertaining but a just fight. That doesn't even begin to account for fighters like Jimmie Rivera, Pedro Munhoz, Dominick Cruz, Aljamain Sterling and the winner of Petr Yan/Douglas Silva de Andrade as compelling title fights in the potentially near future. This division needs title fights next year; not one, not the promise of multiple ones but actual honest to goodness fresh compelling new title fights with fresh new challengers for TJ Dillashaw.

Women's Bantamweight

Big Gift: A Pulse

If not for the legacy crafted by Ronda, Holly and Miesha, we'd be saying the stuff we say about the 125 lb class for men in this division too. We don't need to re-litigate what ails the 135 lb class. Divisions one up and one down raided the middle class and took away reliable names like Jessica Eye, Holly Holm, Alexis Davis, Liz Carmouche and Valentina Shevchenko to name a few. Retirement and pregnancies took away the star power from the division, namely the likes of Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate and Julianna Pena. What remains is a hollowed out husk of a division that has no signs of life left in it. Amanda Nunes vs Rocky Pennington is probably the worst title fight of 2018 and I suppose it spoke to the depth of this division that Pennington on a near two year layoff plus a broken leg was the right choice for the title fight. At the end of the day, 135 lbs just needs something. It needs some sort of a pulse and a reminder that it has its place in MMA. It needs someone to invest in it or some star to emerge from out of nowhere to step up and create some talent within it.

Stocking Stuffer: A TUF

Featherweight

Big Gift: Some divisional air freshener

Can great fights and great fighters get stale? 2017 began with Max Holloway and Jose Aldo on a collision course with Frankie Edgar on the outskirts looking in and a collection of proven quality fighters who had been beaten by some combination of the three as the filler. The "upside" was in guys like Yair Rodriguez, Renato Moicano and Brian Ortega. 2018 began with Max Holloway as the sole head of the division with Jose Aldo as the clear #2 fighter, Frankie Edgar on the outskirts looking in and a collection of proven quality fighters who had been beaten by some combination of the three as the filler. The "upside" guys were Renato Moicano, Brian Ortega and Zhabit Magomedsharipov. In 2019, we will enter the  year with Max Holloway as the sole head of the division with Jose Aldo as the clear #2 fighter, Frankie Edgar on the outskirts looking in and a collection of proven quality fighters who had been beaten by some combination of the three as the filler. The likes of Cub Swanson, Jeremy Stephens, Ricardo Lamas, Darren Elkins and company continue to be the filler. The likes of Renato Moicano and Brian Ortega have graduated in value but I don't think either fighter at this moment can say they're above Jose Aldo (while Ortega can absolutely make a claim that he's the #3 guy). Most of these guys have all fought one another or fought someone who has fought Edgar, Aldo or Holloway. This division could use some freshening up and something new going on with it. Maybe that's Moicano taking the FINAL step up to replace Edgar or Aldo at the top of the charts or maybe Ortega is back in a title fight before 2019 ends. Maybe the likes of Alexander Volkanovski,  Zhabit Magomedsharipov, Yair Rodriguez and can survive the gatekeeper's boss run that is the likes of Swanson, Edgar, Lamas and Elkins in some form or fashion. Hell maybe even guys like Michael Johnson and Chad Mendes can continue to be a vibrant little surprise, racking up some timely wins and preventing new challenges. This division is realistically the best division in MMA but if we end 2019 with the same old same old at the top then I'm going to have to call foul there.

Stocking Stuffer: Health and happiness for action fighters

Women's Featherweight

Big Gift:  An investment

The UFC is building performance institutes all over the world and I think that's great. It's their money, spend it how ya wish on what you like. That said if the UFC wants this featherweight class to live beyond Cyborg skipping out, it may be time to put those PI's to their best uses. Even if people cry favoritism, use the UPI's to restock the shelves in WMMA. Let athletes in need of a home stop in there, train for free, board for free and then try to find them gyms you're comfortable with to continue their careers. There's no reason that women's hockey/basketball/softball/wrestling athletes aren't being tempted with continuing their athletic careers in the UFC. That requires an understanding of failure and the tacit knowledge that you may invest hundreds of thousands into people who may not make it. Invest in your product long term, realize you might sink a cost or two and reap the benefits over the long term. It CAN be done.

Stocking Stuffer: A drama free year out of Cyborg (or whoever your champ is)

Lightweight

Big Gift: Detangler

Any other division in the world with the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor, Tony Ferguson, Dustin Poirier, Kevin Lee, Al Iaquinta, Paul Felder, James Vick, Justin Gaethje, Donald Cerrone, Anthony Pettis, David Teymur, Alexander Hernandez and countless others would be a pretty damn hot division and to its credit 155 lbs is pretty damn hot. Even if we can express disappointment in some of the ratings this division has drawn, the fights have been absolutely outstanding as a whole on the year. What this division really needs though is some detangler to help us figure out just what the hell we've got going on here. Is Khabib going to be out for a year? Is Conor? Will Ferguson fight ONLY for a title or will he be active again like in years past? Is Al Iaquinta really a top 5 LW? Can guys like Kevin Lee and James Vick bounce back from rough showings at the end of the year? We've got a loaded division but not a lot happening in large part due to the Khabib and Conor situation and also due to Ferguson and Poirier seemingly getting stuck in between fighting and not fighting for various reasons.  This division deserves a bit better luck than that.

Stocking Stuffer: A 165 lbs division

Welterweight

Big Gift: The element of danger

I've sort of beaten this into the crowd to the point where it's lost effectiveness so I won't belabor the point much longer. 170 lbs needs somebody to finish a fight. It needs a title fight with actual buzz and not buzz about seeing who can race to the bottom first. This is the UFC's weirdest, wackiest division which is somewhat unfortunate given the history of 170 lbs as a whole.

Stocking Stuffer: A Renaissance run from an old horse

Middleweight

Big Gift: Continued youthful and exciting international imports

There's some life here! For once, middleweight has some life going on with it! After the 2014/2015 run where Weidman, Rockhold, Whittaker and a bunch of TUF guys stepped up and showed out, the division hit a lull until this year. We got some glory days runs out of the likes of Jacare and Chris Weidman, we had Yoel Romero fight two times a year like a mad man but we also had the likes of Israel Adesanya, Karl Roberson, Paulo Costa, Thiago Santos and Jared Cannonier mark their arrivals as forces to be reckoned with at 185 lbs. The Contenders Series gave us fighters like Kevin Holland, Ian Henisch and Edemen Shahbazyan. Fighters like Tom Breese and Darren Till realized that lopping off limbs to make 170 lbs was a bad idea. For the first time in the history of the UFC, we're going to get a middleweight title fight between two guys under the age of 30. Even if you account for the fact that Chris Weidman and Luke Rockhold are bound to leave the division soon, it doesn't actually feel like a death shot which is pretty amazing given 185's reliability on aging fighters to keep it afloat. What this division needs is really just more of the same. More fighters under 30 popping into the mix, less weathered proven mid tier gatekeepers being given opportunities over and over that they consistently come up short in. Keep building 185 lbs, man. We'll eventually have a serious division in short order.

Stocking Stuffer: One Jacare title fight

Light Heavyweight

Big Gift: Help

Help. SOMEBODY. Jesus christ, somebody help this god forsaken division. Anthony Smith and Thiago Santos are top 10 LHWs after a few fights! The only three really intriguing prospects are Johnny Walker, Dominick Reyes (who no longer feels like a prospect) and Aleksandr Rakic. This division needs help. It needs fresh new fighters, reinforcements from 185 lbs or just something. We're a win, a suspension and a bad sneeze from Gustafsson away from Shogun vs Jan Blachowicz as a title fight in 2019.

Stocking Stuffer: MULTIPLE Jon Jones fights

Heavyweight

Big Gift: The Same Old Same Old

Honestly I know there are folks who dislike the heavyweight division but let's be honest. This is a golden era for big doughy dudes doing big things. We've got old horses having renaissance years in Daniel Cormier. Alexei Olyenik and Junior Dos Santos. Derrick Lewis got to fight for a title! The European HW scene is popping with new guys springing up every other month seemingly. We got to see fighters like Arjan Bhullar and Tai Tuivasa get tested a little bit with some adversity. We might be finally getting some sort of ROI on guys like Justin Willis, Curtis Blaydes and Walt Harris. Francis Ngannou and Alistair Overeem both ended the year on the right side of the tracks. Despite our best reservations or concerns, Greg Hardy is coming and will step into the cage as literally the best athlete in HW division history. Even CAIN VELASQUEZ has apparently had the cobwebs blown off of him! The UFC heavyweight division is doing okay and everything will be alright. Just keep doing what you're doing, try to sign some more of these up and coming European heavies, be a bit more careful with the prospects you've got and let the division keep on keeping on. Long live Heavyweight MMA!

Boston Bruins vencieron 3-1 a Washington Capitals

Boston Bruins derrotó a Washington Capitals 3-1 en el Juego 5 de la primera ronda de la Copa Stanley en Capital One Arena el domingo. Patrice Bergeron, vistiendo una camisetas nhl baratas, dio dos goles para este juego y se convirtió en el mayor ganador del juego. Este también fue el quinto juego que Boston Bruins ganó y eliminó con éxito a Washington Capitals.

Este es un concurso entre los dos equipos de la NHL. Ambos equipos estuvieron igualados en el primer cuarto y ninguno marcó. En el segundo cuarto, Pastrnak lideró a los Boston Bruins, y Bergeron volvió a extender el marcador para los Boston Bruins, logrando 2- a las 14:05. 0. Este es el resultado del arduo trabajo de todos los jugadores con las camiseta Boston Bruins. Sheary bajó el marcador a 2-1 cuando anotó con un rebote a los 11 segundos del tercer cuarto. Bergeron atrapó el pase de TJ Oshie a las 12:25 3-1 para reescribir el marcador a 3-1.

Al final del juego, Boston Bruins se convirtió esta noche en el favorito de Dios más querido. Ganaron la quinta ronda de los playoffs de la Copa Stanley de forma consecutiva.

The Weight on Her Shoulders

Having to be consulted by another's conscious is bad enough when you already have your own to worry about. Unfortunately, Ronda's overall conscious is twisted, no matter which "side" is giving you advice.

NBA 20/21

ESTE

 Atlanta Hawks

 En la teoría, han fichado bien, un buen escolta (Bogdanovic), un 3-4 tirador de 20 puntos por partido (Gallinari), un base veterano, con dos anillos y que en playoffs (casi) siempre rinde, pero no sé, no sé. Juego interior competente (Collins y Capela) pero de banquilllo van cortos y Trae Young como estrella, es un base con el que no iría a las trincheras. Los veo en playoffs, como mucho (si todos los astros se alinean) en segunda ronda y ya…

 Boston Celtics

 Pierden al mejor creador de juego que tenían (Hayward) a cambio de un reboteador (Thompson) y creo que salen perdiendo con el cambio, pues Hayward les desatascaba mucho el juego estático. Pritchard tiene pinta de  ser un nuevo Tyler Herro. Kemba a nivel All Star puede ser lo que marque su temporada. Les falta un punto para ser de verdad un “contender”, sea vía adquisición de una estrella o un par de buenos role-players más, sea por paso delante de Tatum y/o Brown.

 Brooklyn Nets

 Sobre el papel, aspiran a todo.Luego ya, cómo vuelva Durant de la lesión, si a Kyrie se le atempera la cabeza loca de los últimos años (visto lo del Media Day, parece que no…), como éstos dos jueguen juntos, si el resto acompaña y si aterriza Harden vía traspaso, marcaran su singladura.

 Charlotte Hornets

 Si Hayward es el de antes de la lesión, LaMelo hace una buena temporada rookie, Bridges, Graham y Rozier aportan, su mejor expectativa es pillar la séptima/octava plaza de playoffs. Juego interior y banquillo muy, muy escaso y joven en caso de lesiones.

     Chicago Bulls

 Cambio de entrenador (Donovan por el locatis de Boylen), pero mismo nivel de talento. Lavine anotará veintitantos puntos huecos. Sólo pueden esperar que exploten Coby White, Carter Jr o Markkanen y que Pat Williams sea un acierto, lo cual es mucho esperar. Al hoyo otro año, me temo…

 Cleveland Cavaliers

 Sin rumbo desde que se fue Lebron, sin acierto eligiendo en los últimos drafts (Sexton y Porter Jr, han sido bluffs hasta ahora, pero parece que Okoro va a ser un jugador decente…) un desastre de franquicia. Muy buen juego interior (Love, Drummond, McGee y Nance), pero sin tiradores ni un base solvente. Habrán traspasos a mitad de temporada seguro (Love a un contender y a Toronto le haría papel…)

 Detroit Pistons

 Han fichado muy raro (muchos ala-pivots y pívots) y su juego exterior es Rose y poco más. Se rumorea que Griffin saldrá en el trade deadline. Ver qué tal lo hacen Killian Hayes y Doumbuya, únicos alicientes…

 Indiana Pacers

 La mejor noticia sería que Oladipo volviera a ser el que fue hace dos años antes de su lesión y TJ Warren tuviera todo el año los números que tuvo en la burbuja. Quinteto apañado para el Este (Brogdon, Oladipo, Warren, Sabonis y Turner) pero banquillo justito, playoffs hasta segunda ronda puede ser su tope…

 Miami Heat

 Subcampeones y la sorpresa del año pasado. La única baja reseñable ha sido Jae Crowder, pero añaden a Avery Bradley y Mo Harkless, jugadores de perfil similar. Optan a todo, piensan convertir a Herro en estrella y están intentando fichar a Harden, lo cual de suceder puede salirles muy bien o muy mal si se carga la química del grupo…

 Milwaukee Bucks

 Fichan a Holiday, un base sobre el papel mejor que Bledsoe y a un montón de piezas complementarias (DJ Agustine, Portis, Torrey Craig…) que tampoco mejoran mucho el banquillo. Lo importante será si en Playoffs van a ser un equipo con más de una jugada (“balones a Antetokoumpo”) y si Middleton y Holiday van a estar a nivel de ser unos “second banana” fiables, de equipo campeón. Si va mal la temporada, Giannis ¿pedirá traspaso o será el Lillard dl Este?

Orlando Magic

 Equipo sin “chicha ni limoná”. Defienden bien, eso sí, pero les falta talento ofensivo para llegar a cotas más altas, no han fichado a nadie este año y se rumorea que pueden enviar a Gordon a otro lado a mitad de temporada…

Philadelphia 76ers

 Han obtenido tiradores (Green y Seth Curry) a cambio de Richardson, que no encajó bien el año pasado. El principal cambio es el entrenador. Si Doc Rivers consigue que Embiid le ponga huevos en todos los partidos y deje de tirar de 4/5 metros en modo random y que Simmons tire de tres (no ya que meta… ¡que tire cuando esté sólo!) es para ponerle un monumento. No los veo más allá de segunda ronda y se rumorea que están en la pomada por Harden.

 New York Knicks

 Otro año penando (y van…) Por lo menos no han firmado ningún contrato absurdo, Obi Toppin parece una buena elección de draft y sin ninguna expectativa puesta en ellos, pueden darle minutos a él, a Barrett, a Ntilikina, a Smith Jr, a Mitchel Robinson…

 Toronto Raptors

 Continuismo del equipo sorpresa del año pasado. Perder a Kawhi y ser aún así uno de los mejores equipos, nadie se lo esperaba. Cambian a Baynes y Alex Len por Marc Gasol e Ibaka y poquito más. Sus esperanzas este año están puestas en seguir siendo un equipo ratonero e incómodo y en que Siakam, OG, Van Vleet y Powell sigan mejorando. Les falta otro anotador para ser un aspirante legítimo al título…

 Washington Wizards

 Con Westbrook, creo que tienen plaza asegurada de Playoffs y su combo con Beal y Bertans puede ser dinamita ofensiva (defendiendo ya tal, pero para eso han fichado a Robin López). Banquillo justito pero con muchas esperanzas en el rookie Dani Avdija.

Fox news Live from New York, J.J. Watt tackles 'SNL' - NFL.com

Fox news

Live from New York, J.J. Watt took center stage.

Roughly 1,300 hours away and steady petrified of 24 hours from the Tremendous Bowl, the Texans All-Pro hosted Saturday Evening Live.

After introducing himself and giving somewhat of family historical previous, Watt's opening monologue concluded with him admitting he'd gladly alternate his internet hosting gig for a residing in the Tremendous Bowl.

"I am so inflamed to be right here internet hosting Saturday Evening Live, my title is J.J. Watt and I play defensive give up for the Houston Texans," Watt began. "You see the Texans are a football team; football is the sport with the helmets. I am sorry guys, I didn't drawl I'll presumably presumably presumably need to level to that, however the writers backstage gave the affect wide at a loss for phrases, so there you flow.

"Football is roughly the family business. I really comprise two brothers who're also in the NFL; our names are J.J., T.J. and, for some reason, Derek. I blueprint now not know if that technique my fogeys loved him more or loved him much less, then again it surely technique it be assorted.

Ready for @nbcsnl !!!! pic.twitter.com/aic3lPrdqm

— TJ Watt (@_TJWatt) February 2, 2020

"As successfully all know, the next day is for positive the Tremendous Bowl. Create now not glean too inflamed, I am now not in it. I didn't glean to play. Nonetheless I opt to witness on the shiny side of things, if I was in the Tremendous Bowl, I doubtlessly would possibly presumably presumably presumably now not be right here internet hosting tonight. And would I really alternate internet hosting SNL for the Tremendous Bowl? Certain, I surely would. Positively would. No doubt I restful would, so when you guys need to call me, I will switch away upright now. Nonetheless since that's now not gonna happen, I steady need to articulate to your complete avid gamers in the game, congratulations, you guys comprise really earned it. And I point out this from the backside of my heart, I hope it ends in a tie. Nonetheless I am in New York City tonight! So let's glean collectively!"

Persevering with in the comedic cleat-steps taken on SNL starting up with Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton succor in 1977 and continuing alongside with the likes of Walter Payton, Deion Sanders, Tom Brady, Peyton and Eli Manning, and others, Watt solid aside his shoulder pads for an array of costume changes.

Watt, the first skilled athlete since UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey in 2016 to host the iconic sketch comedy and differ show, was in a neighborhood to show his versatility on Saturday night. The Texans flow rusher's differ didn't attain with regards to speeding the passer and stopping the scoot, however a cavalcade of comedic skits.

Watt's leadoff skit noticed him taking part in a faux-Frozen II's Kristoff earlier than his second act noticed him in his familiar football pads.

In a parody of the movie Rudy known as Robbie, Watt, donning a Notre Dame No. 99 jersey, didn't apply suit alongside with his teammates who wanted the underdog Robbie to glean in the game and objected with an expletive-bleeped rant.

That “Robbie” skit �������� @JJWatt @nbcsnl

— Derek Watt (@DerekWatt34) February 2, 2020

Thereafter, Watt took on the job of a birds-and-the-bees talk alongside with his son that went off the rails. He counseled "Olay Undercover agent Sunless" and was later a Bachelor-esque "The Pilot Hunk."

From there, Watt was himself once again, rattling off a bunch of sound bytes for an upcoming "Madden 21" by which his comments had been once in some time that of a successful multi-time Pro Bowler. And in the slay he wrapped all of it up as a sad-tie bigfoot and a extremely grownup pizza-provide man.

As he signed off and thanked all individuals, Watt -- donning a Kobe Bryant jersey -- crumpled up a portion of paper and took a trademark Bryant fadeway shot to log off.

A five-time All-Pro, Watt would possibly presumably presumably presumably now not had been as at home at 30 Rockefeller Plaza as he's on the gridiron, however he delivered some laughs dwell on Saturday night.

“There’s five fucking fights announced, the fuck you people want from me?” A salty TUF Finale Preview

The famed/dreaded/beloved/villanious UFC doubleheader is upon us this week as we've got a TUF Finale on Friday leading into a genuinely loaded and stacked UFC  218 on the back end. The beginning of our focus is on said Finale from Las Vegas, Nevada aaaaaaaaaand I got nothin'. Honestly! I have not much to really say. As of right now, the card has five fights on it. There's two genuinely awesome bantamweight fights (Joe Soto/Brett Johns plus Shawn O'Malley/Terrion Ware), a middleweight fight of middling import (Andew Sanchez/Ryan Janes) and another one that should be amusing if nothing else (Eric Spicely/Gerald Meeschaert). The focus for this show is on the TUF flyweight championships and like the usual TUF affair, we're looking at a lot of this card being filled up with cast members for the show. Going back to the last women's TUF which crowned a champion, we had 8 fights featuring fighters off the show and I'm figuring guessing that the number will be close to the same. You assume a finale fight, the failed semi finalists fighting and then filler will get you to about 7 or 8. It is worth remembering they're trying to start a division here so everyone is gonna get a shot. The lack of fights announced and the general meh of the fights that ARE announced allow me to use the preview space a bit differently. No wacky factoids, no pondersings and no stats to keep (although for record keeping purposes, Sean O'Malley will be remembered for debuts and Terrion Ware for second fights) and instead we can just do some talking about this division and where it stands.

This Ultimate Fighter has not been the record smash success other seasons have been although not entirely of its own fault. They ran up against the World Series with a dated formula that some people are tired of and with two coaches who will make for an amazing fight but not amazing talking television. Compared to TUF 20, this isn't new anymore. WMMA is not a new thing; it's established now and people are either for it or against it with the understanding that they're shouting at a wall. It's empty space, it's noise in a vaccum, it's...it's just nothing. It's yelling at clouds now. A new TUF tournament is cool because it'll get this division going but it's not destination programming. I watch ALASKA FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS and I've seen about three episodes of this TUF. The formula lives on its coaches and the talent involved with it. We've discussed Eddie Alvarez and Justin Gaethje as coaches and they're not engaging talkers. Their fight SHOULD be amazing but I think it speaks to where these two stand that their fight is FOURTH on the main card. It's an amazing fight on paper but neither is going to get you all worked up, it's just another fantastic fight in the shark tank of 155. Not their fault.

And what about the talent at 125 lbs? In a way, this is not anybody's fault either. The best 125ers in the world are basically already in the UFC. They're starving strawweights or bloated up 135ers. They're Valentina Shevchenko, Joanna Challenger, Paige Van Zant, Katlyn Chookagian, Joanne Calderwood and in all likelihood a Claudia Gadelha or Jessica Andrade. Then for a reality show, remove every fighter who doesn't speak English or lives across the planet away from Nevada. From there, the remaining members of the field are all fine fighters in their own right but none of them scream "MUST SIGN!" or superstar. 115 lbs was fresh, new and unique. 125 lbs is just a room with a view at this point. The future of flyweight is bright in time since it'll be like the lightweight of WMMA----but we're aways away from that. One day sure, right now? Not even close. It doesn't help I guess that for people going INTO the show, the best of the best were fighters they've already seen and seen lose. I know there's plenty of people who like Roxanne Modafferi but to UFC fans, she's the woman who lost on TUF then lost to Rocky Pennington way before that became a good thing for your career. Lauren Murphy has lost every UFC fight she's had against someone who remains gainfully employed by the organization. Those are the two biggest names with Barb Honchak trailing way way way way behind in third place and it is of course a fine reminder that Barb went into the show with the reputation of being the most boring female fighter in the history of drab and boring. The rest of the field featured fighters who wouldn't headline an Invicta card or stand out if they were announced on a card. TUF 18 got the best fighters not signed by Strikeforce; a crop that included plenty of elite talent and some surprises who popped out as well. Hell, Tonya Evinger, Val Letourneau and Gina Mazany all didn't make the show which shows their depth. TUF 20 was legitimately just a "Bring me every 115er who can talk english and is over 21" from invicta and other parts of the US which made it stand out. This show is by design/bad luck an amassing of fine fighters who will fill ranks but not seats.

That doesn't mean the division is doomed. Hell it doesn't even mean that this CAST is doomed either. TUF 18 was an attempt to find the next/eventual Ronda Rousey. It didn't do that but it did give us some good fighters who fill ranks across the UFC's multiple women's weight classes. TUF 20 was an attempt to start a new division off with a popular champion and weeks of hype. It wasn't successful but it gave the division some notoriety and 115 lbs is a solid weight class with plenty of name fighters inside of it. The future of this division, it's EVENTUAL star, will not be from this class immediately but who knows? Rose Namajunas went onto TUF at 2-1, got blown out in the finals and then matured and developed into a fighter who dethroned the unbeatable. Felice Herrig has morphed into a whole new woman off TUF. Strange shit happens sometimes in MMA and 125 lbs will almost certainly be no different. TUF is like weed; it's a gateway to some. Rocky Pennington was 3-3 prior to TUF and now she's kind of a big deal at 135 lbs. Some fighters will use the experience and grow, others won't really. I bet you a few years from now, some of us will look back and be shocked at who got off the show and developed and who just stayed where they were. It's the start of a long play for a new weight class which will hopefully give us fighting riches beyond our imaginations as it develops.

The importance of 125 lbs really can't be lost on folks. The UFC does not need another 135 lbs. That division is pretty much dead at this point as Amanda Nunes is the champion nobody cares about facing a dried up pool of contenders. The shelves were never restocked properly after Ronda and Miesha left and the next generation is already thinned. Pena is pregnant which is amazing for her life but not for her weight class. Shevchenko is going to 125 lbs where she'll probably prosper and win plenty of titles. Holly Holm's value seems to be as a fighter who can dance around weight classes depending on the time of year. After that you have fighters with obvious ceilings on their potential (Marion Reneau, Bethe Corriea, Sara McMann), a promising fighter in Ketlein Vieira and the ultimate unknown in Cat Zingano. The landscape is bleak. 115 lbs seems to have a steady supply of newbies filtering in plus a bunch of fresh exciting new fights with Rose as champion. It seems to be doing alright with room to grow as the UFC expands into more markets. 145 lbs is laughable, a mess and a half. You can carry ONE dead division, you're going to see holes with two but three? That's a serious step back for WMMA.

There are zero fights currently announced featuring the cast ALTHOUGH Lauren Murphy is RUMORED (there's that dirty word!) to be facing Priscila Cachoeira so you can cross her out. If I had to guess, something I'm pretty shitty at normally. Here's what I think we MIGHT see:

Roxy/Sijara Eubanks winner vs Nicole Montano " loser vs Barb Honchak Rachael Ostovich vs Maia Stevenson Deanna Bennett vs Emily Whitmire Montana Stewart vs Melinda Fabian Lauren Murphy vs Priscila Cachoeira Maia Stevenson vs Gillian Robertson

Don't be surprised if losers of those fights stick around in the UFC given that this division needs depth behind it as well.

And before I send thee to bed, I want to take a brief second of your time to discuss those two bantamweight fights. We can begin with Joe Soto who finally is starting to make some waves after being "the guy TJ Dillashaw iced back in the day on 24 hours notice." Soto's always been UFC caliber and he's starting to show it, complete with a fucking war and a half vs Rani Yahya. He's not perfect but against Brent Johns, we're going to see a fight that could headline any regional promotion ever. Johns has been a stud although the finishing power still isn't there. He's a guy who has shown an improved skillset and a lot of the problems that plagued him on the regional scene (constantly hurt/struggles with weight) haven't popped back up. The other fight is a really, really interesting clash between a raw as fuck prospect and a proven regional veteran. Terrion Ware has been a good fighter on the regional circuit and the whole "you go places if you beat him" mantra is more true than false. Of his five losses, 3 are in the UFC (Luke Sanders, Cody Stamman and Joe Soto) and 1 is in Bellator (Leandro Higo). He's the guy who basically checks if you're good enough or not. Sean O'Malley is one of the genuine stars of the DWTCS formula. If anything he's THE guy who makes the whole concept work. He was an unknown guy who in one performance had the MMA world (for a night at least) popping for him, Snoop Dogg marking out and shouting his name plus a contract from Dana White. Ware is going to test if he's all flash and bluster or if he's got something more than hype to his name.
